U2

U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's timbrally varied guitar sounds and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. more »

Alive in an ocean
A world that I didn't see
I walk the world back ways
It's aways the same ballgame

That's out of mind
Out of the living world
Out of time
I break all the rules

They call me a fool
I cartoon in motion
A hero pretends no pain
A clown slipping backwards

You laugh at another's shame
But I don't mind
I know I'm limping low down
I don't mind

Winners or losers
It's all just a game
And I'm going down
And I'm strolling down

Life and an answer
The key to an open door
Admitting I'm laughing
Living I'm limping more

It's out of mind
Out of the living world
Out of time
Winners or losers

It's always a game
And I'm going down
But I'm strolling down
To rout around

And around, and around
To round round
There's a cloud
There's a cloud

So the fool has found the golden key
So it's waiting there for you and me
Just a fool, a street jester
The hero of society

Just a fool, a street jester
Look at me, now can't you see
A life in emotion
A world I'm glad I didn't see

A cartoon in motion
A key to the same day
I don't mind, I'm here to know
I want to go go go go go

So the fool has found the golden key
It's so it's waiting there for you and me
Just a fool, a street jester
The hero of society

Just a fool, a street jester
Look at me, now can't you see
